Lyrics for Charity

Why do I sense Ambivolence? You stand tall, at my great expense Thick words of gratitude What a price to pay Stuck in my throat I sell every word I say But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down Why does your world keep burying? Gorging much deeper Than it's ever been Brought things to order Salt on my hurt Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down Oh, you keepin' me down Oh You pity me with your Tasteless gestures Gratitude for kind Oh, but your bludgeoned Intentioned objectives Are screwing with my mind Screwing with my mind Oh Oh But I don't want your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down I don't want your charity, your charity Twisting me round I don't want your charity Keeping me down I don't want your charity I don't want your charity Twisting me round (Oh you're keeping me down) I don't want your charity Keeping me down Down Keeping me down Down Your charity, is keeping me Keeping me down
